Ugh, Why Google?

Google Voice is a very useful service that has languished in obscurity and lack of attention for so long. Suddenly Google is paying attention and developing it (yay!), but they might just be using interns because the app is horrible from a UX standpoint, for a Google product and even as compared to your average app.

They added batch archive of conversations and batch delete (broken btw) of individual messages, Ok. But what we really need is batch delete of multiple conversations at once. I want to think that its inattention to details but what I suspect it really is is that Google doesnt want you to remove your content, so they just make it difficult and unfriendly to do so.

Anyway, so much utility and potential continually squandered by bad design and implementation. Sigh....
